100 candle s for the Gali bierThe Tour de France’s cyclists first climbed the Col du Galibier in 1911 (see page 41). To mark this hundredth anniversary in the appropriate way, in 2011, the Galibier will be climbed twice after an interval of 24 hours. The finish of the 18th stage will be judged at the summit, which will be the highest finish in the Tour’s history, at an altitude of 2, 645 metres.

“L’Alpe -d’Huez of Britta ny”This will provide one of the highlights of the first week of the race. Indeed, the finish of the 4th stage will be judged at the summit of the ascent of the Mûr-de-Bretagne, after a climb of 2 kilometres with an average gradient of 6.9%, with some sections that have a gradient of 15%. And so it is with good reason that this ascent in nicknamed “L’Alpe-d’Huez of Brittany”.
